Book Club

The AIA Book Club features lively discussions about books covering international issues of importance. It meets five times annually: January, March, May, August, and October at an AIA member residence. The meetings are generally held on the last Thursday of the month at 7 pm, but occasionally, changes are made in the date if there are scheduling issues.

During the pandemic, meetings were on Zoom, but now the group has returned to mostly in-person meetings. The upcoming meeting will be in person—and probably all the ones during the summer months.
